(pensive music)

(upbeat music)

(bike spokes clicking)

(tires whirring)

>> Just need a couple minutes.

>> Vera: Yeah.

(knocking)

>> Got a minute?

>> I'm just heading out. If it's quick.

>> Yeah. Well I've put together the brief

outlining the downside of police and fire cross-training.

>> Bill: Okay. Thank you.

>> Yeah it outlines the basic stupidity of the whole thing.

The expense of training, the undermining of morale,

along with a bunch of stats supporting the argument.

>> Okay, make sure all of our sergeants get this

and that they pass it along at roll call.

While you're at it, make sure they know

that Da Vinci interviewed this chief from Esquimalt

and that he intends on following through with this madness.

>> Yeah, I was thinkin' maybe we get

the word around the unions about the cross-training first.

Let everybody get amped about that, concern for their jobs,

and then we follow up with with news

about Da Vinci interviewing the cross-training advocate.

That it way it looks like he's escalating.

>> That's even better.

Okay, where are we with the fire union?

We got somebody workin' with us over there?

>> Yeah, yeah, that's covered.

They're all over it.

They wanna hose this down before it sparks.

>> Think maybe our good mayor has underestimated the level

of animosity surrounding this issue, huh?

>> We can do him a lot of damage on this one.

>> Well I think you're right on tactically.

We let him go right out on a limb, then we really go at him

after we got a lot of support behind us.

>> But we shouldn't be out front on this at all.

It's much better if it's a union initiative.

I mean he got elected with labor support

and now he's screwin' them hard?

Hey, we shouldn't even be commenting from here on in.

Call it a union versus the city thing.

>> Goodnight, Vera.

>> Goodnight.

>> Meanwhile you are hooking up

with the necessary people, yes?

>> Yup, I got a meeting in a couple hours.

>> Okay, goodnight Charlie.

Thank you. >> Charlie: Goodnight.

>> Rita: Goodnight.

>> Da Vinci: You're leaving? Okay, we'll see you

in the morning, Rita.

>> All right, I'm headed out.

>> Yeah? >> Sam: You comin'?

>> Well I'm gonna make a few notes in this baby here

and then I'll be leaving.

>> Goodnight.

>> Goodnight Sam, thanks, eh?

(door closing)

(door creaking)

Oh, there you are, come on in.

>> Yeah I can't stay too long,

I'm on midnight security back at the camp, eh?

>> What the hell happened to your eye?

>> Some prick jumped me that other night

on the way to Crab Park, I thought I told you about it.

>> Who jumped you?

>> One of the street crew.

>> Oh, Jesus.

>> You know they must of been drafted for the night

to kick us out of the squat or somethin', I don't know.

It looks a lot worse than it is, right?

>> You wanna drink? I got no ice.

>> Uh, yeah, sure yeah.

So what's the dealio?

>> What's the dealio?

You're not going back in there.

>> Yeah, I'm just stickin' around you know,

to make sure Joe's okay, right?

You know he really got whopped

the other night in the elevator.

>> Da Vinci: Tonight you don't go back.

>> Why, what's the deal?

You callin' in the riot squad tonight or what?

>> No, it's the job's finished,

I've got everything I need outta there.

You're done, you're off the clock.

Had them draw you up a check.

Threw a nice little bonus in there for you,

how's that, check that out.

>> Yeah, it's very nice, thank you.

>> You deserve it.

>> So you know somethin', somethin's up.

>> I don't know anything.

>> I mean what, is Bill Jacobs gonna come down there

and try to kick us outta there again?

>> He doesn't tell me his plans.

At least he didn't last night.

>> I thought you two had an agreement.

>> Well I thought we did, he's supposed to let me know

before he sent the riot squad in there.

>> Isn't that like insubordination or somethin'?

>> Yeah.

Anyway, you're not going back down there again.

That's clear.

>> I just gotta go down, I gotta get my stuff,

I say goodbye to a couple of the guys, you know.

>> No, no, you're not gonna do it.

>> It's gonna look kind of weird if I just disappear.

>> Zack, you can't go back there.

>> All right.

>> All right.

>> I need a good night's sleep anyway.

>> Yeah.

>> You know, I'm sittin' here, I'm lookin' around at you

you know in this office.

I can't believe that you're the mayor.

>> (laughs) Yeah, I guess.

>> You know, I mean,

you know, sleepin' out, first in the squad

and now in this tent, man it takes it outta ya.

It really takes it outta a ya.

>> What about Joe Friedland though,

like what kind of a guy is he?

>> Well you been readin' my reports, right?

>> Yeah, but what I'm tryin' to get to...

Hey, Sam.

>> Hey, sorry, I thought you were alone.

>> What's up?

>> Forgot the file.

>> Da Vinci: All right.

>> Goodnight.

>> So what kind of a guy is Joe Friedland?

>> Stubborn as a deaf mule.

>> Do you think he can hold it together down there

for a while longer?

>> Yeah, yeah, sure.

>> Da Vinci: Really? >> Yeah, I think so, yeah.

>> 'Cause we wanna claim that park back from the port, right?

We want that park down there.

>> Zack: So you want the squad to stay there for awhile?

>> Da Vinci: Yeah.

(bike tires skidding)

>> 'scuse me, may I hep you?

Sir, I'm sorry you can't come up here.

>> Oh, I just wanna chill for a second.

>> No, look, this is only for the girls, okay?

I can get you some help, just come back downstairs with me.

>> Just a little bit.

>> I'm sorry, look, if you come downstairs with me--

>> Just-- >> I'll get you some help,

but you cannot be here.

>> I just need a second just to--

>> You're not listening to me, just come down--

>> Hello, Trick?

What are you doing in here?

(Trick sighs heavily)

Outside, let's go.

Sorry.

>> It's okay, thank you.

Not a big problem at all.

It's okay.

>> Okay Trick, let's go, right there.

Oh, crack, all right.

(balls and pins crashing)

(ball rumbling) (ball and pin crashing)

>> Charlie?

(laughs) Long time.

>> Hey, thanks for coming.

>> It's the stupidest thing I ever heard of.

What are you supposed to do if you're fighting a fire

and you got a call to a robbery?

Put down the hose and pick up a gun?

It's insane! >> Yeah, I know, no kidding.

No kidding.

>> Or let's say you're at a bank robbery

with a hostage situation and you get a fire call.

What are you gonna do, hose down the robber?

>> Funny.

Yeah, no, I get it.

No, anyway, the mayor's into the idea,

it's like the number one thing on his agenda so.

>> Yeah, he's gonna last about two minutes more

'cause lemme tell ya, it's never gonna happen.

Everybody feels that way.

>> Charlie: Yeah?

>> Yeah.

Why don't we just combine

the post office and the police force?

Why don't you ask him that next time you see him?

>> And what about the young guys?

>> Gonna be a few of them that are into the idea.

We've always got a few guys goin'

from the police to the fire department

back and forth, vice versa, so yeah, there's gonna be a few.

>> 'Kay, well I put together a couple of pages for you.

Talking points, so.

>> Bob: How are your guys thinkin'?

>> Our guys?

They don't wanna fight fires.

They wanna leave that up to you.

>> Good, 'cause we got enough problems

with the paramedics steppin' on our toes.

>> Yeah?

See, I heard it was the other way around.

It was you guys always showin' up on an EMS call.

>> (guffaws) Bullshit!

Bullshit! (Charlie laughs)

We get the call and we move, period.

No sittin' around askin' "Well, how bad is it?

"Is the guy gonna die or is it just life-threatening?"

We got the call we're out of the hall.

>> These are a couple of talking points

so just make sure your guys are informed, yeah?

>> Bob: Mm-hmm.

>> Earl: Sorry I'm late.

>> Charlie: Hey no worries.

Do you guys know each other?

>> Earl, this is Bob, he's the vice president

of the fire union.

>> Earl: How you doin'?

>> Gettin' by, good to see ya.

>> Yeah, I was just tellin' Bob that cross-training's

gonna eliminate a lot of the middle management positions,

you know, the sergeants mostly.

They're gonna be the ones takin' the first hits.

>> Takin' to a couple of them already.

They're ready to light a fire under it.

>> Yeah?

Well slow down, this one's got a long fuse.

We wanna make sure that both sides

are workin' together on this.

>> I don't think we'll have a problem with that.

Maybe a few of the young guys.

>> We've got that old prick Komori,

the captain at downtown West Hall, he's gotta go.

>> Yeah, but this is about fighting City Hall, right?

Let's keep that focus, yeah?

>> Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

>> All right it's driving me nuts.

(women laughing)

>> Congratulations ladies, can I buy the table a round?

>> By all means, thank you.

>> You guys really kicked ass out there, you know.

>> Thank you.

>> Ferris: Somebody has to.

>> See Klotchco today?

He was stoked about all the press.

>> Yeah they're takin' all the credit as usual.

>> C'est la vie.

>> That was good work out there.

>> Thank you.

>> You can bust my grow any time.

>> (murmuring) Yeah.

>> How we doing?

>> Pretty good.

Got a bit of an appetite.

>> Yeah, I was gonna grab something myself.

You wanna sneak outta here?

Maybe grab a bite in Chinatown, get some take out?

Maybe watch a movie at my place?

>> I should probably just head on home

and grab something to eat.

I'll crash right after. (laughs)

>> Okay.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna grab another drink

and head home myself.

It's good having you on the squad if I never told you that.

>> Thanks, you too.

It works.

>> (laughs) Yeah.

Take care.

See you tomorrow.

>> Yeah.

(traffic whizzing) (car horn blaring)

>> You oughta think about backing off on this a little.

People are getting bent.

>> Da Vinci: What's all this about?

>> It's a union information sheet.

They're already calling for your head.

>> Well it's like, take a number get in line these days.

What the, but this says that I'm gonna

get the cops fightin' fires?

>> That's the idea, no?

>> Not really, no.

>> Well what's the idea then?

>> The whole idea is to turn some of the fire halls

into local community police stations.

Put some of the firefighters into their own crew,

just have 'em patrolling their neighborhoods.

That'll cut response times by like a half

and you wanna keep this under your hat.

>> No worries, I'm not taking a position on this anymore.

>> What? >> As a matter of fact

this is going to be our last meeting, okay?

I'm being pensioned out in a few years.

I'm not planning on being sent packing early.

>> It's just an idea at this point.

>> Watch out it doesn't get any further.

They've already called a meeting on this issue.

May be a good idea but it's not something

you're ever gonna win.

>> Yeah.

(birds cawing)

>> Here they are.

(engine slowing)

>> What took ya?

>> We got orders not to back you up.

>> Serious?

>> Sucks.

>> We're gonna be here anyway.

We happened to be cruising the 'hood

when you were serving the notice.

You want us down the alley, or?

>> Yeah that'd work.

Thank you.

>> Okay.

(knocking)

>> Firefighters took a meeting last night, got pretty hot.

I really think you gotta back off on this issue.

>> Okay.

>> And Lia Forsythe, she's also concerned

it's gotten way outta hand.

>> Who else?

>> Well first up we got Ahluwalia.

>> Oh.

>> Yup, we gotta swing 'em around on the slots.

>> What's gonna happen, he wants a favor from us?

>> Mr. Aluhwalia? You're gonna have to

give me 10 minutes, I'm running a bit behind.

>> All right, okay. >> Okay, just 10 minutes.

Rita?

Look what I got for you.

>> Thank you very much.

>> What do you got for me?

>> The head of the committee against the red light zone's

gonna be here in 10 minutes.

>> Can we bounce that back?

>> She's really influential in her community.

>> Be a good fire to put out.

>> Yeah?

All right, let me know when she's here.

>> Ah, Julia.

>> Da Vinci: Hi Julia.

(Julia sighing)

What's the matter?

>> My voicemail was full by 8:00 last night.

Both fire and police union business agents

demanding a meeting, that's a hornet's nest.

>> Just relax.

I'll tell you what we do, invite them all in here

for a sit down and we'll discuss that budget.

>> I think you should back off of this issue for awhile.

>> Okay, and I agree, and the first thing is

to yank Gail Greenwood's interview with the police board,

that'd be a good message to send out.

>> What is everybody freakin' out

about the cross-training now?

Are you startin' to lose your nerve here?

She is a worthy candidate with or without the cross-training

she still deserves the interview, c'mon.

>> Rita: Mina Basra is here.

>> We need another five please.

>> Thank you, Julia.

>> I still think you should back off of this issue.

>> I hear you, thank you.

>> Julia: Mm-hmm.

>> What are you gonna do?

>> (sighing) Where are the paramedics in all this?

>> Paramedics? >> Da Vinci: Yeah.

>> I don't know.

>> Find out for me will ya?

>> Of course

(cars zooming)

>> Here.

Take a look at those photos.

Recognize anybody there?

>> Yeah, that's Cody Bell.

>> Mick: Yeah, anybody else?

>> Yeah, this kid.

Where'd you get these?

>> I can't tell you that.

What about the room they're taken in there.

Look familiar?

>> These were all taken in the same room?

>> Yeah it looks like it to me.

Could that have been the hotel

that you were taken to at the time you figure?

>> Maybe, yeah.

Those windows look like it could be in the hotel.

Kind of old fashioned, they had stained glass.

>> The place you were taken to had stained glass?

>> Yeah.

Just at the top, not the whole window.

>> Mick: Really.

>> I didn't know they took pictures.

Am I in any of these?

>> Don't think so.

>> Mina: Have you been to the red zone at night?

>> As a matter of fact I have, yeah.

Several times actually.

>> My clients don't want to come by the office.

They don't feel secure parking and walking

even a few yards down the sidewalk

without tripping over needles and condoms.

>> We send a street cleaning crew in there every morning.

>> The point is it's hurting our walk-in business.

All our businesses in that area.

>> Walk-in business?

Sam, I'm tryin' to think, is there any retail business,

there's no retail businesses down there is there?

>> We've held properties in that area for a long time.

Some of us through a couple of generations.

And it's seriously devaluing those properties.

Who wants to buy in Skid Row?

>> Well it's not Skid Row, with all due respect,

but I do appreciate your concerns.

>> It's been turned over night

from a desirable development site into a drug den.

You have people dealing out of that clinic.

You have all kinds of degenerates down there now.

>> There is nothing available in that clinic

that you can't get at your pharmacy

or at your doctor's office.

>> Mina: I don't get crack cocaine from my doctor.

>> Da Vinci: You don't--

>> There was an article in the paper referring

to a drug dealer being arrested outside

the clinic last night, that's what your referring to?

>> In the clinic, it's in the paper.

It's a violation of our rights as property owners

and if we need to examine our legal position we will.

>> I'm gonna look into your concerns,

you can trust me on that,

but I would just like to swear to you

that there are no drug dealers operating out of that clinic.

And I would suggest to you this,

why don't you just drop by there after 9:00,

you just drop by their clinic and you can see for yourself.

>> You're turning this city into a haven for drug addicts

and prostitutes and destroying property values.

>> Well property's not the only value I'm concerned about.

But again, I appreciate your concerns

and I'll be looking deeply into your situation,

you can trust me on that.

>> Thank you for your time.

>> Sam: Thank you, thank you for coming by.

>> Boy.

It would been kinda nice to know about

that dealer gettin' busted outside the clinic

before that meeting with her.

>> Sam: Well she's connected to Billie Simms, you know?

>> How is she connected to Billie Simms?

>> Billie owns half the businesses down there.

>> Sure?

>> This cross-training is gonna hurt us.

It's gonna confuse the issue of the dissatisfaction

you're experiencing with the chief.

>> You think so?

>> Yeah.

With Abigail's attribute, she's forever identified

with cross-training, if you interview her

it's gonna continue to be an issue.

We need the labor unions for a second term, no question.

For a second term, Sam I just landed here in my first term.

What do I care about a second term?

>> Sam: It's become a major distraction.

>> Da Vinci: Well that I agree with.

>> Well let's put it on the back burner.

>> Okay, yeah, done, put it on the back burner for now.

Another day.

Better let Greenwood know that we're interested

but just not at this time.

>> Charlie: Hey Parm.

>> Charlie, how are you?

>> I'm good, I just need a short word.

>> What's on your mind?

>> Well I don't know if you've heard about the city's plans

to you know, cross-train fire with police,

but you know it is gonna cost us a lotta jobs

And it'll suck up a lot of budget

that we could be using in better ways.

>> That's what's behind the ban on cooperating

with the fire department on grow busts.

>> Yeah, yeah, we gotta shut that down.

>> Nadeem: I'm not sure I agree with that view.

>> Really?

'Cause you know the first guys affected

are gonna be the sergeants.

I mean you might find yourself squeezed out of a job

a couple years from now.

You don't care about that?

>> My problem is half my squad is wasting time on the grows.

My undercover operations have been cut back to the bone.

The fire department is far more effective than we are

on these grow operations, it just makes sense to me.

>> Okay.

Okay, well let me see if I can persuade the chief

to throw more money at your conspiracy cases.

>> I'd appreciate that.

>> Charlie: Okay, okay, I hear ya.

>> I hope so.

>> 'Kay I'll get back to you.

>> Got any needles on ya?

>> No.

>> Oh, what's this here?

>> It's meth.

>> You dealin' meth now?

>> Yeah, that's what's around.

>> You got any outstanding warrants Brian?

>> Brian: Couple.

>> What for?

>> Assault.

>> You lookin' at jail time on that?

>> Yeah, but I got somethin' might help me out.

>> You always got somethin'.

>> What do you got?

>> There's a big grow near here.

You guys are interested in that, right?

>> We might be.

Why don't you get in the car, take us over there.

Show us where it is.

>> I just got off from the city archives.

They think they can identify the hotel

from the photographs of the kids.

>> Oh yeah? Where is it?

>> On Hastings just across from Victory Square.

It used to be called the El Mirador.

>> El Mirador, that burnt down didn't it, that place?

>> Mm-hmm, about three years ago.

>> Ah shit, see that's just a dead end right there.

>> Maybe not, I tracked down the owner, the old owner.

He's still in real estate,

you might be able to talk to him, James Dubro?

>> James Dubro, he's a pretty big player.

>> Mm-hmm, and he was in the news a few years back

when he got stabbed by a street hustler.

>> Stabbed by a street hustler?

>> It says he was attacked by a kid in a pub,

but I called the constable involved.

He remembers the kids claimed Dubro was a trick

who doped his drink.

Apparently it all went away

after the kid retracted his statement.

>> Okay, that figures.

You got a number for Mr. Dubro have you?

>> Yup.

>> Perfect.

Beautiful, Claire, thank you.

>> Claire: You're welcome.

>> So what can we do for you?

What are the issues that we can help you with?

The issues that are facing your constituency?

>> Oh we have a lot of shootings.

>> Yeah.

>> And a lot of our young men are being shot.

And there's a negative perception of the community

in the media all the time.

>> Okay, well what can we do to help there?

>> Well if we had more of our young men and women

on the police force

and in the fire department that would help.

>> I could definitely get into that.

>> Thank you.

>> Not a problem.

Okay, we need some help from you though.

The votes comin' up for the slot

down in Hastings at the race track.

Where are you with that?

>> I think I'm going to abstain on the vote.

>> No chance of bringing you on side then.

>> Ahluwalia: No sir.

>> Okay, well I can respect that position,

that's fine with me.

>> Thank you.

>> Okay, all right, I'll see what I can do.

Always a pleasure.

>> Yeah, bye.

>> Thank you sir.

>> Ahluwalia: Thank you.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> If he abstains I think we might be able to swing it.

>> Yeah? >> Yeah.

>> Think Manning might've got to him already?

>> Possible.

>> Which house?

>> Third one from the corner.

>> How'd you know about it?

>> Dropped a guy up there one night.

He's a grower.

They're havin' a problem with mold in the plants.

Said he's gonna take care of it.

>> When was this?

>> Brian: Last week sometime.

>> Okay.

>> We got a deal?

>> If it works out.

If it doesn't you better not let us find you again.

>> Brian: Can I get a ride back downtown?

>> I can't specifically point anybody out here to you,

but recognize anybody in that group of guys there?

>> Yeah, the one in the dark jacket with the red tie.

That's one of the guys, he was one of the guys at the hotel.

>> Yeah?

Okay, well I guess we're gonna

have to get the police involved with this now.

You gonna be all right with that?

>> Yeah, yeah I'll be okay with that.

>> Da Vinci: What would it take

for your people to stay down here?

>> For how long?

>> Well it looks like you got about 100 people.

Should take me about eight months to find housing

for these people.

>> Yeah? >> For everybody.

>> You'll commit to that?

>> Done. >> Good.

I tell you what, we could use a cooking facility.

A few stoves, could use some more toilets, some wash basins.

Half a dozen showers would be nice.

>> We could probably swing that.

>> And you swear that your working

on a permanent housing solution?

>> That's right, yeah.

>> No more police raids?

>> No more raids.

>> Now correct me if I'm wrong,

but didn't you say that before?

>> They didn't come under my orders.

>> Well you're the chair of the police board aren't ya?

>> Yeah, I am.

>> Are you having trouble with the chief?

>> We sorted it out.

>> Good.

Maybe you can tell him to pull

his undercover operator outta here then.

>> You know for sure there is one down here?

Let me get into it.

>> Well, what does that mean?

Do you know there's an operator here, or don't you?

>> Well if you're telling me

that there's an undercover operator workin' down here

I'm gonna start looking into it.

How's that sound?

(tires crunching on gravel)

(car doors closing)

(hinges creaking)

(electrical buzzing)

>> Woman: Go.

Vancouver police get down on the floor!

(battering ram slamming)

(gun cocking)

>> [Female Police Officer] Hang on, it opens out.

I got it.

Vancouver police get down on the floor!

(gun fires)

(tense music)

(gun shooting)

>> Charlie: 'Kay so we'll need

to sort out that warrant thing.

I think we got Mick Leary comin' here now.

It's Mick, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Bill: Chief Jacobs.

>> Hey, how we doin' here?

>> We lost an officer.

A Barbara Tremaine.

They were here exercising a warrant,

there was a guy inside with a shotgun,

he fired on Tremaine.

Caught her above the vest.

Officers opened fire on the shooter

and he's a fatality as well.

>> Okay, I guess I'll head on in there then.

>> I'd appreciate it if we could

keep the media at bay for a while.

>> Oh yeah, yeah, I'm in no rush to open my mouth here.

>> Okay, thanks.

>> Yeah, take a look inside the house,

we've got the shooter on the floor in there.

He was hiding inside the house behind a mattress

waiting for them to come inside.

Excuse me constable, can we get the coroner

through to the scene please?

>> Can I talk to the officers involved?

>> I think they just got taken down town

to calm down a minute, you know they're pretty traumatized.

It's understandable.

>> Okay, yeah, but I need to talk to them tonight,

I need to know where they are and get back here.

>> Think they've already hooked up with a lawyer.

>> 'Kay, well I'm goin' in.

>> Mick: Hi.

>> Hey.

>> Is homicide here yet?

>> Yeah, inside.

>> 'Kay, thank you.

>> Hey Mick.

>> What do we got?

>> Well they took a battering ram to the door,

tried to pop the lock.

Problem was the door was never going to open in.

Impossible.

It swings the other way, inside out.

>> Oh yeah, the hinge is right on the outside there,

they shoulda caught that.

>> Yeah.

Anyway, it gave this asshole enough time

to grab a shotgun and go for the mattress.

>> Okay, did you get a chance to talk to the cops involved?

>> No, they got wrapped up by the lawyer pretty quick.

>> Okay. Deceased.

>> There's not much left of her.

Guess you wanna take a look,

she's right inside the doorway here.

>> Mick: Yeah.

>> Bill: I don't wanna be reading

about any police negligence here, Charlie.

>> No sir, we're on it.

>> I'd be very surprised if this wasn't connected

to some organized crime group.

>> Yes sir.

>> Let me know when the family's been contacted,

I'll put in a call.

>> I will let you know.

>> Okay well keep me in the loop as it progresses

will you please?

Thank you.

All right, thank you, I will.

>> There has gotta be a better way.

>> I just got off with the coroner.

>> What's he saying.

>> Well apparently the officers involved were unaware

the door they were busting down opened out.

>> You kidding me?

>> No, and that the man inside was armed

and had a previous record for assault with a weapon.

Thank you.

>> Well what they hell were they doing in there

in the first place then?

>> Sam: Apparently they jumped without a warrant.

>> No.

>> Mm-hmm.

That's what the coroner's hearing.

>> Okay, could you do me a favor,

see if the officer involved there has any family.

See if you can get me that number, I'll place a call there.

>> 'Kay, Gail Greenwood left another message,

she still needs a call back.

>> Da Vinci: Okay, shit.

Shit!

>> Sam: You gonna tell her she's out of the running?

>> Yeah, I probably brought her into the mix

before I should have anyway.

>> Yeah, well I'm sure it's not the first time

she's been scratched from the card before the race began.

You're gonna wanna comment to the media

about the shooting huh?

>> Yeah, I'd love to.

>> 'Kay.

I wouldn't criticize the officers involved until we know

for certain what happened.

>> I've handled press before, I've done this job before.

What?

Hi.

Chief Jacobs please.

All right.

Ask him to the call the mayor as soon as

he steps into the office, can you do that for me?

>> Sir the mayor would like you to give him a call.

He says it's urgent.

>> Thank you.

>> All right, so back up and start over.

>> The mayor came down and talked with Joe

about staying in the tents for eight months.

>> Excuse me?

>> They shook hands on the deal.

>> Bill: What deal is this?

>> Cooking facilities, washrooms, electricity.

The mayor's gonna give them the permits.

>> Thank you, I appreciate the work.

>> Thank you.

>> Okay, get the port authority on the phone.

That park is under their jurisdiction, not the city.

>> Yeah, that's the feds, federal jurisdiction.

>> Let's make it their problem then.

>> So the horsemen can clear 'em out this time.

>> Get 'em on the phone, tell 'em unless they wanna see

tent cities springin' up everywhere,

they better get on it.

>> You bet.

>> This is basically a who's who of the top players

>> And this is all based on info Vijay Kumar supplied to you?

>> Yeah, some of the guys we knew already,

but not how it all hung together.

>> It's pretty impressive.

You've even got everyone's relationships up here,

first cousin, brother.

Looks like a family tree.

>> Yeah, that world's pretty tight, no doubt about it.

That's why it was great having Vijay as a source.

First time we had someone who really knew the inside.

>> Right.

>> You talk to his dad?

>> Yeah, well, he didn't know anything.

He claims his son was an innocent victim.

>> Well that's typical.

They always got their blinders on

when it comes to their sons.

>> How 'bout the guy at the top here, Dylan?

Is Vijay tight with him?

>> So he claims.

He said he was trying to stay close but neutral.

>> Angela: Sounds like quite the high wire act.

>> Yeah it's gonna be pretty tough

getting another operator in there.

>> Angela: Well in the mean time we're gonna need

full access to your files.

>> No problem.

You know you're not gonna get one of the top guys, right?

They always let the lower level muscle pull the trigger.

>> Maybe someone will talk.

>> Don't hold your breath.

Basically we're screwed because the big concern

around here lately is busting dinky little grow-ops.

>> What do you mean?

>> My sergeant just plucked two of my detectives

to put them on grow-ops full time.

It's bullshit.

>> You wanted to see me?

>> Yeah, yeah, come on in, come on in.

So what kind of organized crime connections

did this asshole at the grow have?

>> Well actually it was kind of a mom and pop organization.

Not very big time at all.

>> That seems to contradict some of the intel

I got out of the horsemen.

>> Yeah, what do they got?

>> Well they think he hooked up

with some pretty serious people while he was in the joint.

He's definitely connected to some major players.

>> Well I'd like to see what they got

'cause I'm not coming up with that.

>> You know what?

I'm thinking maybe we should get

the organized crime unit involved in this.

Maybe they should take the lead on it.

>> It's a city homicide, not really their jurisdiction.

>> But you'd appreciate that help.

>> Yeah, sure.

>> Okay, well thanks.

Somebody will be in touch.

That's all.

>> All right.

>> What's this bullshit?

>> That would be the proposal from Sergeant Charles Klotchko.

>> Well what is that jumped up little sycophant

up to here with this?

>> It's a preliminary budget

for a very expensive new task force

designed to fight organized crime,

particularly the grow-ops.

>> This looks like something that's been

in somebody's drawer for quite some time.

This wasn't just written up over night.

Look at this.

>> Yeah I think I saw something like this come across my desk

about four or five years ago.

>> Da Vinci: Yeah.

>> Julia: I guess now with the officer's death

in that grow-operation raid

it'd be an appropriate time to recycle it.

>> Exactly.

Exactly, okay.

Okay so what we gotta do is decide about the cross-training

because otherwise we'll find ourselves

fighting this proposal instead, you got it?

>> Sam: Yeah.

>> Okay, so cross-training.

It's now or never.

>> Sam: Never would work for me.

>> Da Vinci: Julia?

>> If you think you can take the backlash, go ahead.

(car horns honking)

>> I just heard that Da Vinci is taking this opportunity

to push his cross-training agenda.

Saying that if it were firemen doing the grow-ops shutdowns

we wouldn't have had this shooting.

>> Yeah, we'd have dead firemen

instead of a dead policewoman, what's the difference?

>> Let's just make sure we counter

whatever it is he's putting out.

Where we at with the newspapers?

>> All right, they'd like to have you over

to their editorial offices for an in depth interview

whenever you can squeeze it in.

And this afternoon sometime

would get it in tomorrow's paper, so...

>> Set it up. >> Yeah.

(horn sounding)

>> Zack: Knock knock, comin' in.

>> Oh hey, it's you.

Pull up a chair.

>> Geez it's freezin'.

I think I'm comin' down with something.

>> Oh yeah, really?

You want a shot of something?

I got a little warm up here.

>> Zack: Oh, yeah, yeah.

>> Yeah, you can really feel the seasons changing, can't you?

>> Zack: Yeah.

>> Joe: So, what do you got in mind?

>> You know you were worried about a police operator

bein' part of this whole thing a little while ago?

>> Aah, you know what?

Not really worried about that anymore.

What the hell it's not like we got anything

to hide really is it?

We're just looking for decent housing over the winter.

It's not like we're terrorists or anything.

>> Okay, yeah, all right sure.

>> Yeah, I been around the block a few times, I'll tell ya.

I know what to expect from organizations like this.

Half the time they end up being run by police agents.

>> (laughs) Yeah, I could see that,

I could see where that could happen, yeah.

>> No it's true, historically it is.

It's true, it's just, you have to kind of bank on that

when you're starting one of these things.

(static whooshing)

(sirens wailing)

>> Earl: Are you happy with your dental?

>> Bob: No man, all the premiums are way too high.

>> Well yeah.

And they're not going down.

>> Bob: No, especially 'cause the guys'll

make 'em real clean.

>> Charlie: Hey.

>> Bob: Hey.

>> You're not gonna believe what this prick is doing.

We lose an officer, we lose a member,

and this asshole starts putting a spin on it.

Putting it on you guys for not being there to back us up.

And putting it on us for not backing you guys up.

It's unbelievable.

>> Earl: Who's this, the mayor?

>> Charlie: Prick.

>> This guys got zero class.

>> Oh and get this.

Da Vinci wants to deliver the eulogy at the funeral.

>> Over my dead body.

>> He's gonna be speakin' at his own funeral

if he keeps this shit up.

What'd he say?

>> He said that if the fire department was allowed

to do their thing, we wouldn't have a dead cop.

>> Unbelievable.

>> Charlie: Thanks.

He's got the red zone up and running.

We should be paying attention to that.

Drive 'em out before they get settled.

(tires squealing)

>> What's goin' on?

>> You're goin' up to first avenue.

Help out on a road block.

>> Yes sir.

(sirens wailing)

(intense music)

>> All right, move it along!

Get moving!

>> There were patrol cars there all night

steering away the traffic,

and street crew busting the dealers.

>> Did you get any badge numbers?

>> I don't think so.

You better get it sorted out.

Their girls aren't gonna come back

if they're gonna get hassled like this.

>> I promise you they won't get hassled.

>> So tonight it'll be open again?

>> It'll be open again tonight.

>> Okay. >> Okay.

>> Thank you.

>> Thank you.

Get the chief on the line for me will you?

>> The mayor's on the line for you.

He says if you don't pick up he's coming down

and camping in your office.

>> Ask Charlie to step in, would you please?

>> Yes sir.

>> Morning, Dominic.

>> I'm getting reports that some of your guys

were blocking traffic and preventing the normal functioning

of the red zone last night, Bill, is that true?

>> I hadn't heard anything about that.

What officers were down there, can you tell me?

>> Are you tryin' to tell me you don't know

what officers were involved?

>> Bill: This is the first I'm hearing of it Dominic.

>> Well, that doesn't say a whole lot about your officers

or your command then, does it.

>> Well why don't you let me ask around

and I'll get back to ya.

>> Can I just remind you that this is a provincially

and federally sanctioned project,

it's not up to you or your troops

to make or reject policy, okay?

>> I understand.

Why don't you let me get back to you.

>> I don't want the Johns hassled down there.

And I don't want the dealers hassled down there either,

is that also clear?

>> Hang on, hang on.

Are you instructing me to let criminal activity

to go unpoliced?

>> Unpoliced? No.

Policed according to my instructions on the project, yes.

>> All right I understand, thank you.

>> No, thank you.

I want someone down there in that red zone

observing the god damn cops tonight.

>> Pull back he patrols.

Let the dealers and the pimps and the hookers know

they got a free ticket down there.

>> Okay.

>> I think I'd like you to reconvene the police board too.

>> Okay.

>> I want it on record that he's been instructed to lay off.

I want him officially warned.

There's just absolutely no point in trying to establish

a red light district unless there's some kind of unspoken

exemption for some of the drug dealing down there.

The sex trade has gotta be allowed to settle in somewhere

in one spot in relative safety.

What's wrong with that?

But the police chief just seem to want to engage us

in another battle, a political battle,

that he has no authority to engage is in.

It's wearing me out.

>> You need an undercover operator to work these murders.

>> An Indo-Canadian.

Someone who can get inside those gangs,

find out who ordered that hit.

>> See, Kumar was a constable working undercover

with the OC unit unofficially, right?

He was supplying info on the gangs.

>> And that's why you think he got hit?

>> Joe: Yup.

>> Well what about the other murder, the teacher?

>> Mistaken identity.

>> We have no evidence?

Nothing to link these murders to this gang?

>> No weapon, no eyewitnesses.

It's cold.

>> Well the kind of undercover operator you're looking for

is pretty rare, I mean I don't know of any.

>> Well how 'bout the horsemen, can they lend us an operator?

>> I'll make the call but don't count on it.

>> You were under the impression the warrant was on its way?

>> I was under the impression there was a constable

on the way with the warrant.

Before whe arrived we saw movement that indicated

that the grow operators were going to try and leave

so we decided, I decided to enter the premises.

>> You judged it safer to contain

the suspects in the house?

>> Rather than put any citizens at risk, I made that call.

>> You mention there was a piece of evidence missing.

>> After the incident, going through the crime scene,

Constable Ferris here found a note from the fire department.

A notice that they were gonna return in two days

to conduct and electrical safety inspection.

>> You saw this note?

>> Yes sir.

I saw it on the floor after the incident.

I didn't pick it up, I left it where it was.

>> I asked the investigating detective

if that evidence had been seized

and he said he hadn't seen it.

>> I think that notice is what put them on alert.

If I had known they had been notified by the fire department

I wouldn't have attempted the raid.

>> All right.

How you feeling?

>> It's a little tough.

I haven't managed to get much sleep.

>> Seeing a counselor?

>> Today.

>> All right, let me know if this goes to internal.

>> I've heard rumors that it's gonna

be a federal investigation.

Organized crime unit's looking at getting involved.

Apparently the suspects were affiliated.

>> I'm sorry for your loss.

>> Thank you.

(glass breaking) (car alarm blaring)

(men yelling)

>> Stop the car!

Help somebody help! He's got a knife!

(feet and fists thumping) (grunting)

>> 'Kay, I really think you should take a minute.

>> Just wait here.

>> No, I think I should be there.

>> Oh hello there.

Hi, can I help you?

Hey, hold up there Mr. Mayor,

the team's not available today sir.

>> This is bullshit, Bill.

'Kay, I've had it, put the phone down!

I've had enough of this right now.

This is bullshit, Bill!

>> Let me call you back.

>> Yeah you gotta call him back.

>> I'm sorry, what bullshit are we talking about?

>> What bullshit?

>> Charlie, we're fine, thank you.

>> Sam, vamoose.

'Cause the way I understand things

there was absolutely nothing, zero police presence

in the red zone last night.

Am I hearin' right?

>> I think we had a pretty hot night down on Granville St.

>> Granville Street?

>> We have late bar openings, it's causing

a lot of brawls you may have heard.

>> 'Cause the way I understand things we had a John

got half kicked to death right down there

on the street there last night.

>> We got some pretty bad people down there I guess.

>> Look, you and I are gonna have to come

to some kind of conclusion on this.

We gonna have to sit down on this

and figure out what the hells' goin' on.

>> I'm happy to, just name a time.

>> Right now.

I got a couple things I wanna say to you.

Number one, you are gonna see to it

that there's level-headed constables on duty

down there in the red zone every night.

Every single night.

Number two, when the firefighters are serving notice

on one of the grow-ops, and they call for backup

from one of the constables, they are gonna accompany them.

And number three, nobody is going into any grow-op

without a warrant, and nobody's getting a warrant

without and investigation.

>> I understand.

I'll look into it and see that your orders are followed.

>> Good.

>> Bill: Anything else?

>> 'Cause if these things don't happen, Bill,

you'll be facing dismissal for insubordination.

Is that clear too?

>> Thanks for stopping by.

>> Not a problem.

Hey Vera.

It was good to see ya.

>> And you you jumped up little prick,

you better grab your nose and take it outta

my goddamn business and I mean immediately.

>> Charlie: I'm sorry?

>> Sam: You have another meeting to get to.

>> You don't know what I'm talkin' about?

You know what I'm talkin' about, and you wanna pull

your head outta your boss's ass too,

take a good look around, see what kind of shit

you got yourself into now.

>> Charlie: Yeah, call next time you're droppin' by will ya?

>> Ah, ya goof.

(Charlie laughs)

(upbeat music)
